Arthur had taken a lot of time preparing that morning. Shaving carefully, taking his time so it was perfect. Hair slicked back. His suit steamed and smooth as he slid into it, preparing for the trip as he tied his tie perfectly. Shoes polished, taking a moment to brush them down one last time.

Taking the time to ensure he had everything just so in his carry on bag, he wheeled it out into the living room. The pets were at the kennel, everything else was packed and with the movers, and now they just had the flight back to the States, to Vegas.

Dressed impeccably in a midnight black suit with faint pinstriping and matching onyx shirt with the same color tie, he took a deep breath, calming himself.

"Ariadne? Eames? We ready?"

[plagiary]

He just ends up mock glaring at the both of them, crossing his arms and pretending to be upset about it. "That was before I realised he was a twat."

Arthur chuckled. "We recently compared notes and realized that there were a few times when one of us sabotaged the other. I'm not sure if it was for jealousy, but he was certainly annoying,' Arthur teased, glancing at Eames."

"Are we calling me a twat or Francois?"

Hiding her giggles into her straw, eyes focused on the men as she drank. Not wanting to say a word. Only giving them both, her most curious face she could. With of course a tinge of innocence mixed in.

[plagiary]

"Francois. Although he did not like you at all Arthur, he spent most of the time criticising you and calling you names. I think it's just because he blamed you when I refused to marry his useless arse."

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

He looked at Ariadne as if pleading his case. "Do you see what I have to put up with?" He tsked, shaking his head. "What I put up with."

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

Rolling her eyes, attempting to hide her amusement over this all. She just shrugs, attempting to enjoy her mocha as much as possible. "I have nothing to add to this."

[plagiary]

"Can't we just all agree that nobody is allowed to ever talk to a french man?"

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

"Writing off an entire country for work? I suppose we can do that." Smiling, amused by the idea. "What about..." He started to ask something, a shadow suddenly seeming to cross his expression. "So... We have about ten minutes before they start loading first class."

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

"You two!" She said, rolling her eyes, as she let out a small sigh.

Only to stop, expression softening, as she ran her hand long Arthur's jaw. As she wasn't entirely sure what else she could do. But show him, she was there for him. "Well let's get you to the gate then. The states are waiting."

[plagiary]

Eames just ends up watching the both of them, silent and calm but he nods anyway, "Yes, that glorious land of Americanism, watch as I fall over myself in excitement."

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

Closing his eyes, Arthur leaned into her touch. "I'm fine. I swear, both of you, I'm fine. Stop catering to my pathetic wallowing over a loss that is three years old. I have a family, a life, soon to be a home. I even have a pet. I need to let it go."

And with that he straightened, giving them a bright smile. "Shall we?"

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

"You have pets mind you." She stated, letting a small laugh out, she rolled her eyes, a quick look between the two. Wanting to just keep things as light as she could.

"And we shall." Turning on the balls of her feet, to make her way to the gate. "Let's get me to Vegas. As the need for corrupting awaits."

[plagiary]

Eames just laughs, following the pair of them, "Oh dear."

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

"I'm not counting Eames as a pet anymore," Arthur said, heading for the gate. "If he gets his own seat, I can't count him." Looking over his shoulder, winking at the other man before sliding his arm around Ariadne. Eames had said he wanted them all to act normal.


"So Ariadne in the middle,' he asked innocently.

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

"So many ways I can take that." She said, a playful singing tone to her.

A content sigh coming out, as she just went on focusing in on the gate ahead.

[plagiary]

"We can't afford to buy an airline so I'm afraid you must keep all those little thoughts of yours strictly pg," Eames teases.

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

"I was hoping you would,' he said back, squeezing Ariadne in close to his side. "Bit too late for my thoughts. Sorry. I'll try and make my hands behave though," he promised Eames, even as his hand slid down, patting Ariadne's butt.


"Also, I have Saito in my phone. Maybe he'd buy it for you."

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

Her eyes rolled, amused as always with the two of them. "Eames, your boyfriend is being a tease again." She teasingly said, crinkling her nose, head tilted towards Eames.

"And how do we know, he hasn't already bought this airline?" She stated, eyes focusing up on the board at the gate. "It may be a new hobby for him."

[plagiary]

Eames just laughs, shaking his head, "He's always been a tease darling, you just get used to it after a while. Or wear down his defences."

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

Stepping up to the counter, Arthur handed over his boarding pass but his attention was on the duo with him. "I'm not a tease. I'm just slow to give the satisfaction you both want and need. You, Eames, more than I would Ariadne. You suffer more entertainingly than she does."

Now he was being wicked in his own dry way.

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

A quick few salutations in French were given to the gate attendants, while handing her boarding pass over.

To then turn, hands on hip with a smirk, towards the two me, she couldn't get enough of.

"Arthur. You may think you have the upper hand here with us. But do remember. I hold all the cards with you both. Fairly sure, I could bring you both to your knees. In that oh so pleased ways."

[plagiary]

"Is she actually saying these things aloud?" Eames asks no one in particular, "Or am I dreaming?"

[loadedparadox.livejournal.com]

"And in front of people,' Arthur marveled, canting his head to look past her at the attendants that were gaping. "Yep, outloud. Course, she's not entirely wrong, is she?" He glanced at Eames.

[dreamsofmazes.livejournal.com]

A quick glance back at the Attendants, beaming all the while.

"Apparently being around you two, has done things to me." She paused, batting her eye lashes between the two. "Oh so good things. But things nonetheless." She said with a small laugh and shrug. Knowing she was having way too much fun distracting everyone, from the idea they were leaving Paris officially now. Or more herself then the others.

[plagiary]

"And she's blaming us," he grins rolling his eyes, "Oh dear, Paris is strewn with the shreds of our virtues."
